McSheffrey told BBC Radio Sheffield: “Obviously there’ll be some disappointed people and there’ll be some happy people. And then it’s down to the people at the club to negotiate what people will want.

"We have to recruit and retain wisely.

"The club hold the cards on a few players because there’s club options on certain individuals.

"But you finish the season playing like some of our players have played and there’ll be teams we’re playing against thinking that could be a nice free transfer for them in the summer.

"We’ll offer some contracts and release some players and then it’s down to hoping those players accept the terms.”
